Summary: Duffy and the Devil?
Comment: This tells a cute story similar to the traditional version of Rumplestiltskin that is familiar to many of us. The watercolor illustrations are the perfect companion to this text as they are subtle with their opaqueness, yet still tell so much by themselves. Because the book deals with the devil and also some witches, it may not be appropriate for all audiences. Due to the difficulty of the, at times, archaic grammar and length of the text, students shouldn't be expected to read this independently until the 3rd grade, but can have it read to them at a younger age.
Why 3 stars?:
I felt the portrayal of the Devil in this story was an element that could have been eliminated. The character could have been named something else or taken on a different persona. Also, although the book did win a Caldecott Award, it failed to grab my attention, and the attention of the first and second graders that I tested it with.

Summary: duffy did nothing for me
Comment: I was not very impressed by this book. I felt that the language was, at times, confusing and inappropriate for young readers. The illustrations, while better than anyhting I could do, were not outstanding.
Rating: 4
Summary: I thought this book had great detail and wonderful pictures!
Comment: This book was great for children to open up! The pictures and the story went hand in hand. The pictures had great detail and included a lot of color. I would recommend this book to every child, every parent of a child, and every teacher!
